i thought i'll show what i have done recently with a Autoart XKSS

i don't have a TV so need something to do in the evenings







i made the case from aluminium, made the hand tools, the little books, the bench, the little mug, the little piston, and modified the model to look like it's in for repair.





the tool box is a bought item as well as the larger workshop equipment




i have now recently started on number two which will be different. the model will not be modified apart from the lever which opens and closes the bonnet remotely.





you can just see the wire going to the bonnet
